.......Asking a Question using Span¡shD!ct 'Answers'........
Before you post a question please follow the steps below. Helping yourself as much as you can and finding the answer on your own will help you learn and remember better the answer you found.
After you have taken as many of these steps as you are able, then, if you still need help, proceed to ask your question.
Here are your steps to follow:
-1. Be sure you have read our Rules and Guidelines
-2. Enter any single words you are asking about into our dictionary (See the “Dictionary Tab” in the blue Span¡shD!ct menu bar at the top of the page)
-3. Enter any phrases you are asking about into our translator (See the “Translation Tab” in the blue Span¡shD!ct menu bar at the top of the page)
-4. Conduct a search of our previous Questions (On the “Answers” main page directly under the green “ASK A QUESTION “ button, there is a small window into which you can type the word or words you are searching for)
-5. Look through the index to our reference material (found here) to see if there is a document or answer that provides the information you are looking for as for example, “para or por”, “ser or estar” “accents over letters”, “how to type Spanish letters and characters ¡ ¿”, “Spanish words indexed by type or kind” and many many more items.
-6. Try a Google search. (Short) phrases should be enclosed in quotation marks for search purposes. If you prefer, use any other search engine.
If these actions by you have not given you the answer you want, then post your question here in our forum.

"Here is what you are expected to do for yourself."
To start off with this phrase could be interpreted as finger shaking at the questioner. For newbies I feel this would be a bit un-nerving.
There must be an explanation as to why we want people to take these steps first, I feel it would be a bit more friendly.
Such as: Before you post a question please follow the steps below. By helping yourself as much as you can and finding the answer on your own will help you learn and remember better the answer you found. If after all this fails you are welcome to post your question following the quidelines below.
